Delhi-6: Fabulous Soundtrack, Vague Script

Masakali, Masakali. Guess we all have been humming this from way before the movie hit the screens. “Jay Ho” to A.R. Rahman’s music. The movie Delhi-6 has been made superbly. Abhishek Bachan’s paring opposite Sonam Kapoor couldn’t have been better for this film. A typical boy meets girl and falls in love with her under extreme circumstances is all good. The cinematography is awesome, the script and the way the story has been woven together is superb and gripping. I loved the way fine details of the back alleys of the old city and the depiction of myriad people who make up its colourful culture and daily life have been put together by the director.

Well at least till the last 15-20 minutes. All this is undone in the final scenes of the movie. Suddenly one feels that the director needed to wind up the movie and give it some sort of a happy ending with a message. The message was quite clear, but the method was a bit forced.

Anyway go watch it and make your own decision.
